Beat markers in the chords section
Hi group:
I'm wondering if there is a way to put beat markers in the chords section
as in the following:
[image: image.png]
The snippet follows:
harmonies = \chordmode { d4:m | d2.:m | d:m | c2. | c | c |
c | d:m | d2:m c4 | d2.:m | d:m | d:m | d:m
d:m | d:m | c | c | c | c |
d:m | d:m | d:m d:m d:m \bar ":|." }
melody = \relative c' {
\key d \minor
\time 3/4
\partial 4
d4 d a' a a2 a8 a g4 g e c2. R2.
r4 r8 g' g g a4 a a a f g a8 d~ d2 R2. R r4 r f8 f
d4 d a a8 a4. a4 g c, c8 c c4c2 R2. r4 r c8 c
d4 f a g e c d d2~ d2.~ d4 r \bar ":|."
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\harmonies
}
\new Voice = "one" { \melody }
>>
}

Well, you could definitely use the Slash_repeat_engraver, if you know what
you’re doing…
I don’t really, but I took a whack at it — see snippet below.
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
p.s. Really, the built-in repeat engravers should handle this more elegantly.
I’ll see what I can do to put a patch together.
